It's Tuesday March 5th and there is still some snow on the ground. But here I am watching the weather like a hawk, just waiting for a window to get my hands dirty in the garden.

I took 1/2 day off work Thursday March 7th to set out my "seedlings" into my spring garden. I'm taking my chances with the weather guessers.

I got to at least get the onions and broccoli planted. I can't raise the lights up any higher on the bottom row of my seedling table.

Depending on how fast my daughter and I can work, I would like to get the cauliflower cabbages and brussels (middle row) planted also. Its a lot to set out in a afternoon though. But its beyond time to set the babies free.

Have you hardened them off yet????

Nope... Look at the weather guessers forecast above. Some years I harden off other years I don't. It all depends on the weather, clouds and temperatures. Two days of rain and clouds then two days of mostly sunny.

We will most likely will get the cauliflower, cabbages & brussels set out Monday afternoon & evening (I may take another half day off from work Monday) then its 3 days of clouds and or rain.

Small tiny windows but a guy has got to take every opportunity he's got.

You're a lot braver than me! I"m behind about two weeks on my plants. The broccoli and cabbage are just now sprouting. I like to wait a little longer I guess.

Seedlings are looking good, CC. Hope the weather cooperates for you!

Looks great! I'm more than a month behind. I have everything ready to start setting seed - except the potting soil I bought yesterday is still frozen! It's in my kitchen. I might be able to plant tonight.

Here's my little 25'x50' spring/fall garden, nice and cleaned off from a few months ago. It looks lonely and dead doesn't it? :( The pasture still has a little snow on the ground just on the other side of the first creek. But its warming up... It's sunny & 27 degrees already :)

We have over 2 feet of snow blanketing everything, some places we have 3' drifts and I am not talking about where we pile snow from the driveway... I see a couple of spots where the dogs may be able to cross the 4' fence to have a "fun day" in the neighborhood. I will have to get out there and knock down the snow along the fence.
AND
We are forecast for a snowstorm Saturday night into Sunday. blah .. so done with the snow!!

I hear you. We don't have any where near as much snow as you do. Total snow fall has been down a bit this year, but we've been hit by bitter cold during the latter part of the winter.
